dsavitsk Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Great pictures, Grahame. And no, it's not a cow, then the joke'd be lost. It's a cow. They're all over. cows in chicago - Google Search Great pics! That FLW house looks especially inspiring. It's the Robie House, I think. Right on the edge of the U. of Chicago campus.

Grahame Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Thanks for all the kind words. @Voltron: Yeah, maybe because Peter had taken all the good shots at CJ. @Ausburger: It is the Robie House, and we got to see inside as well, so more of FLW details. @agile_one: We had a fun time playing tourists. Lou Mitchell's - great breakfasts indeed. Mind you, the lemon ricotta blueberry pancakes with pecan butter at the Bongo Room, South Loop weren't too shabby, either (Chicago Foodies: Bongo Room) Just saw the ladies enjoying themselves on the bronze bull, and then later in the week everyone suddenly seemed to become a redhawks fan (and proud of it) for some reason that escapes me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Psst, Grahame, they're called the Blackhawks. It's an American thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swt61 Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 i finally figured out why i took to manaox2 immediately: he's just like tori belleci from Mythbusters. But maybe less accident prone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomana Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Bought some Puma Cola based on Vickies CJ post. As did I Their root beer is supposedly better than their cola, so I got a twelve pack: 4 root beer, 4 cola, 2 ginger ale, and 2 cream soda. The shipping ended up more than the soda, but it came out to be $2.50 per bottle, which isn't bad since I don't drink soda much at all. I just ordered from the company: https://www.sprecherbrewery.com/index.php The only two places in Florida that sell it are the Mellow Mushroom in Tampa, and the Cock and Bull Pub in Sarasota, where we've had one of the best post-meet (or was it pre-met) parties I can recall.

HeadphoneAddict Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Actually, it was a clean sweep of the custom IEMs by HC'ers. I won the ES5s just before Colin won the JH-16s. Now Shelly and I will be twins. Awesome! I listed to the Westone ES5s today and they were very good. i also like them I had a demo of the ES5 last week, and it looks like I'll be getting a pair too. The soundstage was better with more out of the head soundstage but still good imaging rather than being diffuse or anything; and I thought they sounded very well balanced in their frequency response. I also read a review of them today: Westone Elite Series ES5 Custom In-Ear Monitors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big fan of Sprecher. My wife grew up in the Milwaukee area, so she tipped me off. Very nice root beer, esp on tap, which some places around here have. They have some pretty nice beers, too, but not as good as the other beers you all sampled here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manaox2 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 it's not just a resemblance thing, you talk and act like him too. I can see that as well. I think hes turning/turned 40 too, kind of surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron_Dreamer Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 But Grahame, the real question is, did you take Joanne back to Hot Doug's before you two left town? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Waiting isn't Joanne's thing, and after a week in Chicago I was told I didn't need any more duck fat fries The Chicken Crack helped though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
